Sheep meat has a higher fat content, so it tastes more fragrant and tastes better. Goat mutton contains a special fatty acid, so its smell will be more obvious and its taste will be hard.
Sheep meat feels sticky, while goat meat is loose and not sticky at all. If its muscle fiber is relatively short, it means that it is sheep meat, and if its muscle fiber is relatively thick and long, it means that it is goat meat.
Both kinds of mutton are rich in nutrition. Because of their different living habits, the fat content of sheep meat is generally higher, so the cholesterol content of goat meat is lower. Therefore, goat mutton is more suitable for middle-aged and elderly people, people with three highs and those who need to control their fat intake.
